e266be9110 Remove obsolete claim that gzip is needed while installing PG's documentation. 
It isn't, now that we ship the docs as loose files rather than a sub-tarball.

Also adjust the wording in a couple of places to make the lists of required
software read more consistently.

d7a1feba67 Document the existence of the socket lock file under unix_socket_directory, 
which is perhaps not a terribly good spot for it but there doesn't seem to be
a better place.  Also add a source-code comment pointing out a couple reasons
for having a separate lock file.  Per suggestion from Greg Smith.

f333f69d19 Bring some sanity to the trace_recovery_messages code and docs. 
Per gripe from Fujii Masao, though this is not exactly his proposed patch.
Categorize as DEVELOPER_OPTIONS and set context PGC_SIGHUP, as per Fujii,
but set the default to LOG because higher values aren't really sensible
(see the code for trace_recovery()).  Fix the documentation to agree with
the code and to try to explain what the variable actually does.  Get rid
of no-op calls trace_recovery(LOG), which accomplish nothing except to
demonstrate that this option confuses even its author.

5eac6a9ac0 Fix incorrect errno definitions in ECPG manual. 
ecpgerrno.h hasn't materially changed since PostgreSQL 7.4, so this has

bdd538c571 Remove the single-argument form of string_agg(). It added nothing much in 
functionality, while creating an ambiguity in usage with ORDER BY that at
least two people have already gotten seriously confused by.  Also, add an
opr_sanity test to check that we don't in future violate the newly minted
policy of not having built-in aggregates with the same name and different
numbers of parameters.  Per discussion of a complaint from Thom Brown.
